Help me think of a thesis project!
so, because my program is cool but extremely administratively disorganized, i’m required to pitch ideas for my final thesis paper + short documentary film, both of which will be created in the US this summer, at the first meeting with my director in about a month from now.
HELP! I NEED IDEAS!
dewayne said to make a documentary on civil liberties/protesters’ rights in the US. mohan said that’s a cool theme but it’s being “done to death right now”, and i agree it would be hard think of some innovative angle to let it stand out from the others. any other ideas? i’m allowed to do, for example, a piece on an organization, a person, an institution, an event, a movement, really anything at all. ideas? ideas?? my themes are politics and urbanism and social welfare and art. how bourgeois, non?
anyway, what is cool is that i’m allowed to collaborate with friends in the research and/or production of my documentary, so long as i credit them in the final project, and so long as most of the research and all the video editing is my own. my goal is to shoot substantial footage, edit that down into a 15-minute documentary to supplement my written thesis, and then after that’s all turned in and i get my masters, go back and expand the film into a longer, maybe 30 minute documentary.
who’s with me? randazzo is with me. dewayne. mohan. george, i assume. where my AV/politico people at? East coast reprezent, yo!
HOLLA AT ME! Holla back!
